Thank you so much for your suggestions, the first test was at a 5.7 and I am awaiting the results of a second test. The initial blood test also revealed Diabetes Insipidus but I feel there is more to it than that and I see many of the symptoms of hyperthyroidism which i've read is usually results from medication for hypo and I had not given any such meds so it's a mystery how it was contracted. And we did lose her half brother in January which would explain added stress.

Anyone familiar with patellar luxation?

Hi, I'm new to the forum and wanted to see if anyone else's B girl or boy has had this condition. I understand it's fairly common to the breed and my little girl has been having symptoms on and off for a bit. The vet examined her in May again and said she may have to have surgery, sadly. She seems to be favoring it quite a bit in the last 24 hours and I think I'm going to have to take her today or tomorrow. I've been looking online, but haven't had much specific information about Basenjis and their recovery, etc. I know my little escape artist works her way around a clown collar and I am very concerned about TRYING to keep her calm and inactive (LOL), as if that's possible!!
Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Sharon & Nala
